Hi, apologies if there's something obvious that I've missed, I'm about as much of a newbie to phpxmlrpc as you can get :) I'm getting an error on the server whenever I try to return a string other than what was passed in as a param. eg. $s = $m->getParam(0); //works correctly however $s = "some text in here".$m->getParam(0); //throws error (this is basically the same as what's in examples.echo) if I try joining 2 params I also get the same error ($s = $m->getParam(1).$m->getParam(0); gives error) it gives call to member on non object error message. the error I'm getting is ---GOT--- HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 07 Sep 2001 05:07:52 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.17 (Win32) X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.6-dev Connection: close Content-Type: text/html <br> <b>Fatal error</b>: Call to a member function on a non-object in <b>d:\html\cheesin\xmlrpc\xmlrpc.php</b> on line <b>555</b><br> ---END--- as you can probably gather from that, I've renamed the .inc's to .php's though I don't think that should matter. also using win98, apache 1.3.17 and php4.0.6-dev (guess I should upgrade sometime) line 555 is $rs.="<params>\n<param>\n" . $this->xv->serialize()."</param>\n</params>"; any help would be appreciated thanks Tai :) ---------------------------------------- projectsomewhere http://www.projectsomewhere.com 2pixelstotheleft.com http://www.2pixelstotheleft.com -- For information about how to subscribe and unsubscribe from this list visit http://xmlrpc.usefulinc.com/list.html
